STOVE.

Application led June 25, 1921.

` following is a specification.

This stove 1s designed to use a radiant formed of fire clay or heat-iesisting material which becomes incandescent under the gas flame, the gas flame being usually introduced to the interior of a tube-shaped scroll-formed radiant into which the liame is injected. Some features of the invention, however, are adapted to somewhat broader application, as for instance, a burner which is not only adapted to the use of such radiants but otherwise advantageous construction.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing as follows Fig. 1 shows a front view of the stove, the burner and lower part of the radiant being in section on the line 1-1 in Fig. 2 to better show construction.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 in Fig. l.

Fig. 3 a plan view of a portion ofthe burner.

1 marks the base of the stove, 2 the frame of the stove, 3 the burner, and 4 the supply pipe and valve leading to the burner, and 5 the burner chamber. These may be of ordinary construction.

The upper wall of the burner is formed of a series of projections 6 and the burner chamber has the passages 7 which extend upwardly within the projections 6. Slits 8 are cut through the projections and form the jets for the burner, these jets being arranged in groups which project upwardly into the tubular radiants 9 set over the projections. 'Ihis method of making jets makes a very superior jet in that the slits are of exactly uniform width with smooth walls. Further they can be formed very cheaply as the slits may be sawed by a plural saw device in one operation by passing the burner and saws relatively to each other, the slits extending lengthwise and the projections being high enough so that as the slits are cut they extend into the passages 7 thus communicating with the burner chamber.

In order to supply some air directly at the jets it is desirable to lift the radiants slightly Serial No. 480,411.

from the burner and this is done by the ribs 10 which extend from the projections 6.

The stove is supplied with a backing 11 which is secured by screws 12 and this backing has a white enamel face formed as is usual at present in enamel stoves. So far Ias I am aware the use of such an enamel surface as a backing plate for a stove provided with radiants is new and the reflecting surface reflects the glow of the radiants thus increasing their heat value and also adding to the attractiveness of the stove as a whole. The enamel readily withstands the heat of this position.

It will be noted that the burnerv is of the elongated type adapting it for use with radiants and that the projections extend upwardly so as to form a proper jet for a radiant and that the 'slits extend lengthwise of the burner so that with the row of jets or j dinarily used with radiants slits may be cut with one pass of the burner and cutting saws.

What I claim as new is: l

1. A narrow elongated burner having a' burner chamber; and a series of projections on the upper wall of the burner, said projections being spaced apart lengthwise of the burner leaving intervening platforms permitting the arrangement of a series of radiants one over each projection andeach projection having a plurality of parallel slits through it communica-ting with the chamber and forming the burner jets.

2. A narrow elongated burner having a burner chamber; 'and a series of projections on the upper wall of the burner, said projections being spaced apart lengthwise of the burner leaving intervening platforms permitting the arrangement of a series of radiants one over each projection and each projection having a plurality of slits through it communicating with the chamber and forming the burner jets, said slits extending lengthwise ofthe burner.

3. A burner having an elongated burner chamber and a series of projections on one face, each projection having a plurality of slits formed in it and through it forming the burner jets communicating with the chamber, and radiant `supporting shoulders extending from the projections.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
